Worth learning } Sorry learnt }
On this the 15 th day of November 1837
personally appeared in open Court, being a Court of Record, and so held this day for the County and State aforesaid. I trust that I know no material citizen in the County of Surrey and State of North Carolina, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the provision made by the act of her grace passed June 7th 1832, that he the said Frost And Snow, mentioned the service of the United States in the Revolutionary war in the County of Orange and State of Virginia; that he was under the command of Capt James Head, and marched from the County of Orange through Guilford and Gwynn Counties and was connected to assist in guarding some British Prisoners; that after receiving the Prisoners, Capt Head returned with them to the County of Albemarle, where he remained till he was discharged, having been in service for the term of two months; that he received no written discharge at the expiration of this first period of service; that he has never forgotten the name of the Colonel who commanded the Regiment during this time, if there was indeed any officer of that grade in command, — that he continued the service in the County of
That he next entered the service in the county of Albemarle Virginia, he having changed his residence from Orange to Albemarle, the year not now recollect-

but it was at the time when Genl. Lord Cornwallis of the British army was at Albemarle County House; that he entered the service as a substitute under the command of Capt. Isaac Davis, but Lindsay commander of the Regiment, that he was marched in the place of John Burrows as a substitute from Albemarle County House to Bedford County, where it being understood that Genl. Washington and Genl. Wayne were coming on with reinforcements, Lord Cornwallis and Genl. Lord Cornwallis retreated; that the company in which he was, never marched on in pursuit of the enemy till they arrived at a place called Hobbs Hill, where he was discharged from service it being thought insufficient or impracticable to continue the pursuit any longer; that he received no written discharge at the time; that he served for two months during the term of service -
That he next entered service in Augusta County Virginia, (having travelled over from Orange County to Augusta) as a substitute for one John Smith, in the company commanded by Capt. Leager, or Coker, Lt. Roberson; in the year Cornwallis was captured at York Town; that he was marched from Augusta down to York Town where he remained with his company till the surrender of Cornwallis; that he was marched from York Town to Winchester in charge of the prisoners who had been captured by Genl. Washington

That after remaining at Winchester some time he was discharged from service at that place; That he was in service for two months, but does not think he received any written discharge
The said Deponent Frost Chace Snow further Says that he was born in Orange County Va; that his Father kept no Register of his age, but from the best information he had, he thinks himself about 78 years of age; that he removed from Virginia to Lowville North, about 55 years ago when he resided ever since; that he has not seen any evidence of his services except he came to go into Virginia 250 miles from his present residence; and if he were to do so, it is probable that most of his old acquaintances would be dead; that there is not now at the present time any clergymen (as far as he knows) upon whom he could call to give evidence in his behalf; that last Thomas B Wright, once had conversation Fleming and his neighbors, and he expects to be able to prove by them, his character and standing as a man of integrity
And the said Frost Chace Snow hereby relinquishes any claim whatever to a pension or annuity whatever except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension Roll of the agency of any State
